What brought me to Hartsville

Finding an awesome little college (Coker) that would allow me to play soccer and to get degrees in graphic design and business. Then finding an awesome job as a Graphic Specialist at Sonoco that has allowed me to use my degrees and have fun doing it!

What I love most about this town

I love the sense of community in this town. We may be small town, but we have a big heart (pun intended) and a desire to reach out, which I think is great. I've lived in big cities, small towns, and planned communities but Hartsville is the one place that has inspired me to do more with my community.

My favorite local food

Why I HYP

I'm involved in HYP because I love being social and active wherever I go and I felt like this was a great opportunity to become more engaged with other people my age who are in the same stages of life as me.

My advice for someone new to town

Don't sit in your house, go out! You can go pretty much anywhere and meet a friendly face. People around here love to show off their town, explore and you'll find out we have a lot to offer!
